Marathon’s Parks and Recreation department gave campers one last hurrah before school with an end-of-summer finale on July 31. Enlisting the help of Marathon Fire Rescue to douse campers with water in the heat, counselors gave kids a day of fun with a water slide, games and a talent show at Marathon Community Park.
One of the Middle Keys’ favorite camp options, the eight-week program averaged around 40 students per day, Parks and Rec Director Scott Williamson said. Daily sessions begin at Marathon Community Park before frequently venturing out on a myriad of field trips throughout the Keys and South Florida.
